“Too Tight” is about Tyler’s struggle of missing his fiancé while being on tour. This isn’t his first time around being in a relationship while touring, so Tyler had explained the whole deal to his partner beforehand and they seemed okay with it, unlike Tyler, who feels lonely without them.
[Intro]
Just holding on too tight
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Friday night and I'm on hold from the West Coast
You're in Georgia, free to roam
I'm embarrassed 'cause I told you you'd get lonely
But I'm the only one who's all alone
You got your friends and all, you're keeping it together
I should probably do the same
It's not your fault that I'm the one who's out here working, oh
So why am I going insane?
[Chorus]
It's not healthy if I can't live without you
I can't help it, everyone has their doubts
I get restless when I'm gone, but I hope you're having fun
I'll be alright, I'm just holding on too tight
[Post-Chorus]
Too tight
Too tight
Too tight
[Verse 2]
I've been trying to let this fear of love let off some
But you got me clinging to my seat
And I won't ever make the same mistakes my folks did
'Cause without you I feel incomplete, oh-oh
[Chorus]
It's not healthy if I can't live without you
I can't help it, everyone has their doubts
I get restless when I'm gone, but I hope you're having fun
I'll be alright, I'm just holding on too tight
[Post-Chorus]
Too tight
[Bridge]
What you doing tonight?
I'm here moping inside my hotel, hotel
I could stay occupied
But I'm making it hard on myself, myself
I'm embarrassed 'cause I said that you'd be lonely
But can we not hang up the phone?
[Chorus]
It's not healthy if I can't live without you
I can't help it, everyone has their doubts
I get restless when I'm gone, but I hope you're having fun
I'll be alright, I'm just holding on too tight (Oh, oh)
It's not healthy if I can't live without you
I can't help it, everyone has their doubts
I get restless when I'm gone, but I hope you're having fun
I'll be alright, I'm just holding on too tight
[Post-Chorus]
Too tight
Too tight
Too tight
